New Comic Day! February 29th edition
Okay, here's the REAL New Comic Day post, complete with customary, “Huzzah!!” For those who don't know what I picked up today, here's a quick listing... Invincible #89, Amazing Spider-Man #680, Avengers #23, Ultimate X-Men #8, Venom #13.4. Yes, that's right, this isn't a dream, nor did I forget to list a bunch of books, I only came home with 5 new comics this week... I feel like I'm 12 years old again and all I can afford are 5 books... Well, I have to say this much, this week's Pick and Runt of the Litter is sure as hell going to be easy to choose! Our Pick this week is Invincible #89... Why? Because out of the 5 books I picked up that's the one I'm most interested in reading due to the strong cliffhanger last issue. This week's Runt is a no-brainer, it has to be Avengers #23. Why the comic gods decided to punish me by dropping an issue of this series, with this storyline on such a short week is a mystery to me... Do I not worship at your alter enough, O Mighty Comic Gods?!? Do I not spend hundreds of dollars dedicated to you?!? Why do you torment me so?!? So yeah, there you have it. With so few books, I honestly have no idea what this week's posting schedule is going to look like... I'll probably post two reviews for three nights(I'll add Green Lantern New Guardians #6 from last week to make this an even number), but then? I'm not sure what I'll do... Maybe some Retro-Reviews, maybe some random scans, or maybe I'll try to come up with some sort of collaboration with JT... We shall see. But that's for later this week. For tonight, expect a review for at least Invincible, and probably Ultimate X-Men #8 later on. Until then? X out.
Hell must be freezing over!!!! Five books for the X Man!!! I know you are LOVING it lol. Especially via the pockets lol. what are you going to do with all this free time!?! Whatever you do I hope you enjoy yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd what am I saying, I only walked away with one comic, yes ONE! lol. Considering I'm about 2 weeks behind, I'll be using that time to play catch up lol.
Have fun reading hun!! ^_^
Hey X, this may seem random but what is your opinion on the Avengers Vs X-Men event coming up? Based upon the sneak peek I read it seems kinda interesting plus John Romita Jr. is the artist so in my book thats a good thing. If you are excited what team are you going for?
ReplyDeleteI want to read your Venom review. It is pretty much the "bash on new Ghost Rider" issue.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm thinking the same way, Lisha. I figure I'll be able to get a review for Flash #7 typed up and done, as well as do a review for New Guardians #6 since I have so few books. I may even type up a few other things just for the heck of it... Either that or I'll do a load of sleeping! I'm beginning to suspect they're trying to kill me at work! :P
ReplyDeleteI'm REALLY looking forward to it, Megaman. If it's done right(and they have a lot of talent working on it) it could be the event to right the wrongs that were done at the end of the House of M event... Oh, and I am DEFINITELY on the Avengers side... Like 500%. I'm all for ANYBODY taking Lord Summers down a few notches!
I LOVED the GR bashing in that issue, Jermox! It was like it was written specifically for me! :D
